As we previously reported, last time round the two main stars, Phyllis Logan and Neil Morrissey, loved the location, and are now enjoying every minute of this second opportunity.

Neil Morrissey on Unawatuna: “At the southern tip of Sri Lanka, the beach is beautiful during the day and has everything: sun, sea, great surfing, snorkelling and scuba diving.”

Phyllis Logan on whale-watching in Mirissa: “It was amazing. And afterwards we were back on land in time for a breakfast of hoppers, which is the classic Sri Lankan dish of bowl-shaped pancakes made with rice flour and coconut milk.”
